Havering Folk Club News 10th October 2010
Last Session: Wednesday, October 6th saw an absolutely marvellous session with Al Neville performing a featured evening. Pep was back from his holiday, touring here, there and everywhere and he got straight back into the groove taking over the MC’s duties again. He and Terry got things underway, then he introduced floor spots from John Clarke, Steve O’Kane, Fiona McBain (separately on this occasion), Ploughman’s Lunch, Jan Ayres from Waltham Abbey Folk Club, only her second visit I believe, then The Weather Girls – Sally Vinson and violinist Rachel (sorry Rachel, I’ve forgotten your surname), Margaret Brown Bert Dady & Keith Petty, Kriss Pouch, Helen Islip.
Al did two 40-minute sets and brought the house down – tremendous!
Elsewhere: No info forthcoming this week about any gigs from Haverfolk, but quite a lot going on elsewhere.
Tomorrow, Monday 11th October Waltham Abbey Folk Club have Pete Coe as their special guest. They’re at The Royal British Legion, Brooker Road, Waltham Abbey, EN9 1HY. Visit www.walthamabbeyfolkclub.com
On Tuesday, 12th October, Romford Folk Club have a guest appearance from Bob Hazelwood and Suzie O’Connell. The Venue is The Sun Inn, 47 London Road, Romford, RM7 9QA. Visit www.romfordfolkclub.com for this one.
Looking forward a couple of weeks, Jim Coombes will be getting his Loughton Folk Club project under way. I paste his e-mail below just as received:
I am very pleased to announce that Loughton Folk Club will be open on Thursdays from 28th October 2010 - at Loughton Club, 8 Station Road, Loughton, IG10 1RR. Loughton Club is next to Brown’s Garage – close to the high road for bus stops, and a few hundred yards from Loughton tube station. There is parking front and rear. Entrance £2.00 – members of Loughton Club £1.00 In addition to the usual folk singing we plan to have tune sessions (led by Peter Boyce) visiting musicians please come and join in. We will also host a Ukulele session (leader required – otherwise you’ll get me! You’ve been warned!). I would like to send a very warm welcome to all Ukulele players from near and far to come and join us and would like to appeal to all interested players and listeners to send me their requests for songs to be included. If you’re new to the Uke we’ll help you to get started. There will be plenty of spots for visitors so if you sing or play acoustic music please come and perform for us. If you know anyone else who might be interested please pass this on and ask them to send me their contact details. And – do you have a ukulele gathering dust in your loft ? If so – first I’d like to encourage you to dust it off and play it with us! But if you can’t be persuaded to do that how about donating it to Loughton Folk Club so that new Ukers can have a chance to join in ? I won’t be running the club democratically but would very much welcome all ideas and suggestions – so do please speak up. Looking forward to seeing you all on the 28th October 2010. Jim Coombes Contact details are thecoombes@hotmail.com Back to HFC: Our own next session is on Wednesday, 13th October and will be an open session. All are welcome to come along to sing, play or just listen to some great music in a friendly atmosphere. So Make it a date – Wednesday at eight! Cheers – Pete W.
